Data Approval

Verifying Your Data

When we have all we need – design data, technical instructions and payment details, we will begin to process your order.

We encourage you to perform a final verification data approval step before committing the mask to manufacture. You original design goes through various manipulations in order to create each individual mask. The tone and mirroring will be set during the data preparation step. This verification process allows you the opportunity to review the final data that will be sent to the lithography tools, and enables you to make any changes or corrections before any costs are incurred.

We will work with you to define the best method for data verification for your needs. One method is to return the data to you in OASIS format. We can help you download a free OASIS viewer (KLAYOUT) to view your data, along with being able to store the final mask data with your original design for your records.

We also use CATS RemoteView where you log on to our system and view your data as it will appear on the final mask using our software.
